Fish and crosses that are being painted
One of the picture frames that was painted. These items are sold in the gift store.
Rafters etc that we worked on this week. Notice the handy lifts we use.
Stone faced wall one of the SOWERs worked on and he is teaching some other guys how to lay the stone. This facing will be on three sides of the new building--lots of stone to lay. Austin Stone.
This is how the stone arrived. Just dumped in a pile.
The geothermo drilling truck. I am waiting until they get out of the way so I can build the circle driveway with the dozer.
One of the high lift we use to reach the top of the building.
The Dozer I will use to build the driveway and to rebuild another road. It works good--just no brakes and the foot throttle is backwards--push to go slow and release to go fast--I'll try not to run over any cars.
The deck the COM's (Campers on Mission) are building on the end of the Chapel. They are only here one more week, so they have lots to do yet. Hope the weather cooperates--could rain Tuesday. The deck is about 30 ft x 70 ft.
We go to a different church each week--lots of fun to see all of the fellow believers worshipping whereever we go. Lots of friendly people--including "southern" greetings--C says I turn bright red from these greetings. This northern Swede isn't use to so much hugging in church.
Been nice weather this past week-lows in 40's and highs in the 70's with low humidity. Next week the winds are to change--come from the gulf. That means the high humidity will be back.
We went to Huntsville on Friday--drove around the main prision--will go back sometime to see "old sparky". Must get to bed. nlsower

Well I finally got on the Blogspot yesterday and I didn't do anything different and I wrote you a long letter and somehow I lost it,so here goes again, if I can remember what I wrote. We are just coming out of a deeeeeeep freeze and it sounds like it will get cold again. It has been sooooo windy, the wind chill on Saturday and Sunday were minus 45-50 below. First service was cancelled and they just had Sunday school and second service, but we didn't go, the blazer isn't working right and we didn't want to take a chance. When it is this cold you only so what you have to! We went with R&V to the RV show in the Convention Center in Mpls last Thursday and then stopped in to see D. at his work at Loram and he gave us a tour of the new building the are building and showed us where his new office is going to be. He took a new position and this one SHOULD have less stress, but we will see. M. went to AZ and passed a test for a Correctional Officer and they called and told him he passed and was # 6 on the list and the least they hired was 9 the week before they called him and last week they called and told him the due to the ecomonic slump the hiring has been put on a freeze. He is really bumed out - his hours have been cut here and so picking is pretty slim and he said God opens one door and then closes it what am I going to do? So could you pray for him. G. niece's daughter that was in that accident on 12/26/07 is taking tiny stepts toward improvement, but at least she is going forward. She can read and said a weak "Hi" one day and that is a big thing for brain injuries, especially the reading. We are waiting to go to AZ until M. get the word to come and work so only God knows when that will be, I'm ready now and so is M. I am just about done stitching that quilt we made, but I have 2 more to put on the frame when I get done. Not much new at church. B. are you interested in going to the mens retreat on April 11 -13. They are going to be doing some work during the retreat like taking the theater seats out of the chapel and insulation some cabins, making and grooming trailes, etc and they will also have a speaker. G. is going and was wondering if you were interested? May God keep you both safe until at least the end of March when we will see you again, just kidding about the safe part. God Bless YOu and we miss you guys

Happy Valentine's Day! You are doing great work. I see you are using lots of fun toys (dozers, manlifts, cherry pickers). We are still freezing. Isn't that what everyone on "vacation" in the south wants to hear? K returned from Atlanta. He said it was 25 degrees down there this a.m. His window was covered in frost and the rent a car didn't have a scrapper so the credit card came in handy. other updates per phone. have a good one.
Hello Bill and Carole,
I'm sitting in my office after church today, and Don Wendroth wanted your blogspot address. You'll be mentioned at the District Missions Conference in Willmar tonight, which is a celebration of short term missions.
God's Peace,
Paul Anderson
Good Sunday afternoon Bill and Carol. I finally got your blogspot address from Pastor Paul this morning so we can find out where you are hiding. What a great collection of photos. Makes me wonder why we aren't there. I know why....we are frozen stiff..!! Should thaw out in March. Will take a few photos off your site and display them this evening at Willmar Covenant. Hope you don't mind. Hope you are enjoying every minute. Don and Burnette
